Republicans have seized on rising gas prices as a political weapon against President Obama. The GOP messaging plan has been to paint Obama on the wrong side of energy independence. From speeches to Capitol stakeouts to op-eds, top Republicans have been hammering this notion on a daily basis over the last few weeks, blaming the president for rising gas prices and citing his rejection of the Keystone pipeline and various other House GOP deregulation bills as evidence that he opposes domestic energy production.    [President Obama]  has adopted the all of the above energy rhetoric that Republicans have used for years. (Talking Points Memo, 3/5/12)
